What better way for a girl to celebrate her 2nd birthday than with a pink and sparkly party! One of the girls in my daughter’s playgroup was turning 2, so her mom turned our playgroup into a pink party for the day. I brought along sparkly pink mini strawberry cupcakes and coordinating sugar cookies.
I decided to go with flowers,...

I’m a little late getting this posted, but with the egg hunts and Easter bunny excitement, time just got away from me. But before April has come and gone, here is a sampling of the Easter treats I made this year.
There were sugar cookies, of course – egg shaped bunnies and chicks, as well as eggs with daisies as accents.
There...

I made these cute baby penguin cookies for my friend Kelley, who recently had a new baby girl. You may remember these big sister princess cookies… well, these penguins were for the rest of the family. I’ve been good friends with Kelley since high school and remembered that she used to like penguins, so hoping she still does, I...

Blue! Blue! Blue! A lot of blue made up this blue-tiful treat buffet for a business dinner for some employees of the insurance company, Symetra. Symetra recently updated their brand icon to the blue swift (the most aerial of all birds), so we decided to go with a blue and white theme as a tribute to the new brand icon and what it...

Last chance for gluten free taste testing. You don't have to be local - I'd like to know how they hold up in shipment as well! Here's a sneak peak at them to lure you in...

I'm in need of a couple of taste testers to sample my trial gluten free sugar cookies. Preferably you will have tried gluten free baked goods before so you can make a comparison and give me some feedback... Anyone interested?

Awesome! That’s the only appropriate way to describe these cupcakes. Not only do they look super cool in all their blue glory, but they taste even better. These blue velvet cupcakes are a variation on red velvet – just made blue. And topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting, decorated with blue candies. Yum! I was...

As I said in a previous post, there are certain things you go through in life that warrant cookies… one of those things is brain surgery. I made these cookies for a friend from high school (and his family, of course) who is recovering from brain surgery.
Is it a little goofy to put brains on cookies? Yes. But I couldn’t resist....

Ice cream or cookie??? I came across the concept for mint chocolate chip cookies while looking for St. Patrick’s Day ideas on Pinterest. I like ice cream, almost as much as I like cookies, so these are the best of both worlds. Cookies that taste like ice cream!!! I made these for a St. Patrick’s Day party and they didn’t...

Are you ready to roll ‘em??? I made these cookies for players to enjoy during a neighborhood Bunco game.
For those not familiar with Bunco, it started in England in the 1800s as “8-Dice Cloth” and was brought to the United States in 1855 when it was introduced in San Francisco during the Gold Rush by a crooked gambler. ...
